Nice convenient property

Had a nice stay, property is well cared for and comfortable. Jan's communication was easy going and helpful. Couple of light fittings need globe replacements - WIR in particular. Property had everything we needed for a few days of family and winter surfing fun, convenient to walk to the shops.

Review weekend 22 November 2024

I took my adult sons away for the weekend. There were plenty of board games to play and we enjoyed playing these as we hadn't been away together at the beach, without other family, for decades. There were instructions/recommendations to improve our stay in the local area We were very pleased with the accommodation.
